Portland, Or, Sunday Welcome.

fortiand, Or., sunday Wetcome.
The parties who own the cele-
brated Bunker Hill mine in Cpur
d'Alene, and for which 81 POO, 600
has been refused, have long been
desircus of obtaining control of an
adjoining mine called the Stem
winder," possession of which would
give them, with the assistance of
some Montana people owning ada
cent claims, practical control of all
the leads. In their interest a man
named Warner approached the three
miners who owned the prize and
bonded it. When the time had ex-
pired Warner had made no sale, and
told the owners that he was.disap-
pointed in their claim and could not
get rid of it. About this time a
shrewd mining expert named Nc
Cauley came hurriedly to Portland
and went to see Van Dclashmutt,
assuring him that the mine was
worth many times over the $50, 900
asked by the owners. Mr.. Delash-
mutt went among some of his
friends and raising all the money
necessary started for Ceur dAlene.
Warner, in the meantime suspected
McCauley's absence, and came to
Portland Immediately, and was
just in time to board his homeward
bound train with Mr.. Delashmutt.
After exhausting all ways of deter
ring the Portlander from making
an examination of the claim, War
ner offered Mr.. Delashmutt $4,000
to turn back and tell his friends
that the mine was no good. He re-
fused to be bought, and kept on.
After reaching Spokane Falls, the
Portlander made an excuse that he
wanted to get his dinner, so as es-
cape from Warner, who kept con-
tinually with him. No sooner out
of sight than Mr.. Delashmutt en-
gagged the fastest team in the town
and was soon driving rapidly for
Wolf Lodge, where he was to meet
the owners of winder mine.
When Warner found that the bank
er had eluded him he hired the
fieetest saddle horse in town, and
gave the rider instructions to beat
Delashmutt to Wolf Lodge at any
risk, and then offer for the Stem
winder $1,000 more than he, no
matter what the Portland mans
bid. On the way to Wolf Lodge
Mr.. Delashmutt's carriage broke
down, and he was compelled to hire
a farm wagon, and the result was
that he had hardly reached the
owners Of the Stemwinder mine
when Warmers man came dashing
into town on a foaming steed, cry
ing out to the miners, "Ill $1,000
more for your mine than the Port
land man will, no matter what youl
price," Where's your money!
inquired the miners. Warmers
good for it," "That's all right but
he fooled us once, and we want to
see hard cash." The Portlander
saw his opportunity, and pulling
out cash or its equivalent and the
papers necessary for the transfer
the bargain was struck for $4,000
and Portland people became pos
sessed of one of the richest mine!
in CHur d'Alcne.

A little pull-back sought one day
The gates OF paradise:
St. Peter wiped his spectaclcs
And rubbed his ancient eyes.
And thronzs of female angels came,
With curious gaze the while,
Intent, as ladies always are,
To see the latest style.
The saint put on his glasses then
An observation took;
what what" he said; this traverses
The laws of mustn't look
"Tied up in front! Piled up behind!
Twill never do. fear!
The thing is too ridiculous;
You cannot enter here"
What did she do? My curious friend,
She got behind a tree;
And in a jiffy she was dressed
AS angels ought to he.
St. Peter kissed her then, and said:
Pass in, my little dear;
But mind, you mustn't introduce
Such naughty fashions here"

Mr.. Ea:tor: In my last communica-
tion, | stated that we would need
rain as soon as We could rid our fields
OF the remains of Gen. Green's scat
tered forces. We were not long III
waiting Monday ofternoon we had
small rain which proved the forerun-
ner OF copious showers, for on We'd
nesday we had a good rain, which WAS
very general. The corn appeared as
if it oould not possibly stand the
daonght many days longer, without
material injury.
The rain was double blessing.
Not only did it revive ti!e ciops when
il came, but 1t assisted il extlrsuisn-
ing az extensive forest ire which has
been raging, doing great damage to
forests and fields of crops, for several
days.
We would suggest to the mill men,
that they MAJ: yet ind it less expen-
sive to stop the fire that they put out,
,han to wait till it has damaged our
farmers; and then they are very neg
lieent in rendering assistance to those
men whose property are being de-
stroyed by them.
Two colored men, Lawrence and
Raymond, While plowing for MIR. r. G.

Lawrence, with the mule he was p!ow-

and his mule was knocket down out
soon recovered with no damage.

commenced at 4 o'clock, but on ac-
count of tardy players, they did not
begin until 5 o'clock, to the great wor-
ry of the outsiders. A female club
has been organized at Pamela, because
the Panoia club would not beat any
other club. The Pamela boys couldn't t
put up with anything of the kind, so

coming via New Zion, and three days
behind time due?
Such delays and irregularities are
very annoying to subscribers that

Language for Sacred Truths.


This custom Of using an archaic
tongue unfamiliar to people IS very an
cient, and prevails in various religions
outside of Christianity throughout the
world. There seems to be deep rooted
sentiment in human nature that sacred
ceremonies should have language apart,
so that the multitude may not approach
and profane that which is beyond and
above their comprehension.
Within few years remarkable in
stance Of this custom existing among a
primitive people has been brought to light
in the Investigations Of Mr.. Frank Hamil-
ton Cushing among the Zuni Indians OK
New Mexico. Mr.. Cushing having dis
covered that the prayers and ceremonials
used by the priests are in an ancient
tongue which bears q relation to the Zuni
of to-day similar to that Of Anno-Saxorl
to English. The remarkable thing about
this is that the ancient language has been
preserved orally, the Zuri having no
method Of writing, but 80 great is the
yeneration for the sacred tongue that it
has been handed down from generation to
generation without the change OF word.
This illustrates the conservative value OF
a priesthood. Nearly, If not quite all,
which the lingual science Of to-day knows
Of the tongues Of antiquity Is due to this
practice Of preserving them for use ID

Provide Shelter for your o,o,~.

Provide Shelter for Your oLv.N.
Winter is creeping on us and will
soon be here. Farmers, are you
preparing for it? Have you sheds
to shelter your stock under during
the stormy days? If not, get them
ready at once. Lumber is much
cheaper than corn at present prices.
You can't afford to pay 55c BUSH
ell for corn with which to keep up
animal heat, when $40 boards will
make you a shelter that will not
only add much to the comfort of
your stock, but save many bushels
of expensive feed. If you can't
get timber conveniently, make
straw ricks. Build them fronting
south with good close back. They
will richly repay you for all the
labor and expense. D0u't say,
"pshaw, / have let my stock run out
all winter for years, and they have
come through all right" But did
you ever count the cost, and reflect
how much money you lost by try
ing to keep your stock warm and
growing with excessive feed instead
Of adopting the more humane and
economic plan of providing shelter :?
Your cattle, hogs or sheep cannot
lay on flesh standing out in an open
field shivering, with the mercury
lowering around zero. If you have
more stock than you can shelter
properly reduce your ho' 'dings and
lspend the money thus obtained in
making the others comfortable.
You had better feed fewer head
and make a profit on them than to
winter great herds and book a loss
at the end Of the season. An ami
NAL will eat SO much food, the bulk
of which goes to keeping up life and
animal heat, and the small surplus
over and above this is what makes
gain and fat. Cattle will consume
| about 8 per cent Of their live weight,
that is q 1,OO0-lb. steer will eat
about 80 lbs. a day.-Ex.
It should be borne in mind that
sod is more,ar less of protection
to trees and plants. So as gener-
al rule plowiug is not advisable
unless good dressing of manure
can be given. 1t opens the soil toe
much for the roots and increases
the danger of injury to them.
This is also q good time to cut of
and destroy the tent .caterpillars
